Graduation Project - General Overview
Graduation Project is generally conducted over two consecutive
semesters (Semester 7 and 8).
In most cases, students will conduct their graduation projects in
group and under the close guidance of a supervisor.
The supervisor nominates co-supervisors (if needed).
The department approves two committee members for each
project
A Pre-registration process is initiated at the end of 6th semester
Project Proposal is completed in 7th semester.
Project Implementation is completed in 8th semester.

Students
Students actively progress through each
milestone of their graduation projects under the
guidance of their supervisor and committee
It is students’ graduation project and students must
do the real work
Students must be willing to acquire new skills as
necessary and take up new challenges
Supervisors and committee members are the
facilitators - offering useful advice and guidance to
the students
